FORT WORTH, Texas - TCU junior outfielder Chris Ellington was named Mountain West Conference Co-Player of the Week for his performance last week. The Frogs went 5-0 including a series sweep over conference foe, Air Force. The honor is the first for Ellington and the second of the season for the Frogs. Ellington, from Weatherford, Texas, helped TCU to a 5-0 record on the week, including an upset win over then-No. 29 Baylor and a three-game sweep of Air Force in league play. On the week he batted .400 (8-for-20) with two home runs, four doubles, nine RBI and four runs scored. In the Horned Frogs' 3-2 upset victory over the Bears, Ellington drove in the game-winning run with an eighth inning double to center. He followed with career-highs in hits (4), runs scored (3), RBI (6) and home runs (2) in TCU's 12-8 comeback victory at Texas State. In a 6-3 game two win over Air Force, Ellington went 1-for-3 with a two-run double, while also scoring a run. In the final game of the series, he sparked TCU's three-run ninth inning rally with a double, advancing a base runner to third, in the Frogs' 3-2 win. Greg Holle was named MWC Co-Pitcher of the Week on March 10.
